I think I will be "receiving" my intake for Christmas :smile:

I'm going to avoid the pulley replacement for a bit.

It was great meeting you!

Cool! Santa is gonna be good to someone!


The pulley really does bring out the supercharger growl through that new intake though.... the extra power is intoxicating, as if I needed any more encouragement.

Whine? I got your whine right here.....

That pulley rocks! Yes I got it on but I would never suggest doing it without the right puller tool. It was a nightmare. I actually spent 3 hours cutting the pulley off of the shaft and very carefully I might add! Since the stock pulley is an interferance fit (meaning the pulley interior diameter is smaller than the shaft and is heated to 450 degrees to slip on and then as it cools it constricts over the shaft, boy the things I learn the hard way), We used a dremel and about $50 worth of bits and cutting wheels to get the sucker off....

Hopefully I will have a how-not-to posted soon with pics!

Take care and hope to see you guys in Charleston, Savannah or Myrtle Beach soon!!!

If anyone ever wants to get together for a ride or lunch don't ever hesitate to ring or email!

He refuses to do another one..... it was a favor to a friend and apparently no amount of money (even with the right tool) is worth the potentail aggravation....

Sorry

Wow, great photos! I hope to be joining you Carolinians real soon. My Cooper S is due in January, so maybe by Spring there will be some more meets. I would imagine that a Mini meet would absolutely be a thrill.

I regularly coordinate Mustang meets for members of the Yellow Mustang Registry and I know the fun these things turn out to be. :smile:

See you guys in the spring.
